The great idols you don't like

Villavic · #1 07-07-2004, 02:34 PM

There are some singers/bands that are very very popular and admired. However you don't like them, they never got you crazy. For example I remember some ledgies who didn't like Beatles. I love Beatles. Lot of great idols really touch my soul with their music (like the Mac, Pink Floyd, Doors, Queen, Pet Shop Boys, Bee Gees, Alan Parson Project)

So my list could be:

Cat Stevens: All my friends love him. Don't know why but I never get caught by his songs. They make me sleep.

Bob Dylan: Another greatguy that I don't like. However I do like Blowing in the Wind, but buy Joan Baez

The Who: I tried to listen some of their songs, but nothing happened (I discoverd this group after they splitted up)

Janis Joplin: Though some compare her with Stevie, Janis was never my style.

Alanis Morrisette: Yeah, some good songs, but, again, nothing happes when I listen to her.

Stevie compared to Janis? Hell no. As much as I love Stevie, I don't think she's capable of putting THAT much of herself into the hands of the audience.

My List:

The Beatles: Never liked them one bit. Very overrated.

The Eagles: Oy, my bleeding ears.

Elvis: Always sounded like he was trying to win the top prize at a karaoke bar.

Bee Gees: My, my, the undies are on way too tight.

"That's Alright Mama", actually.

I love Austin Powers...although, I haven't seen the third one. Need to rent that.

Beatles - Overrated is right.

Rolling Stones - Zzzz......

Bob Dylan - OMG, whoever the frick told him to become a singer...should be shot. Dear sweet Moses!

Led Zeppelin - Stairway is okay, but other than that...eh. Whatevah.

Elton John - Decent songwriter as I love Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, but his voice...eeeegads!! I prefer to hear George Michael sing it.

Janis Joplin - Agree, she does nothing for me. Too screechy.

Garth Brooks - Bleck!! I remember in high school, he was everywhere and the ropers at school wore his shirts and those ugly a$$ cowboy shirts, just ugh.

that GB nerved me bigtime when he was on top of the country game...But at least he buried sticketbastards ticket monopoly for the concert goin' residents of OKC (His hometown area), For that he has my respect.

Another artist I never seen to appeal of was Elvis...Didnt do much for me whatsoever, Nor ever will.

great, thanks a lot, my head just fell off...

Still, I will NEVER like the beatles a lot!! I refuse to be more than neutral when one of their songs comes on the radio!!! I will only break into singing when that one song (that Aerosmith covered) comes on. That is my promise to you, your silly curses can't break me!!!

Add me as another who think the Beatles are overrated. I much prefer their solo material.

-Sting. I don't like his voice, nor is he sexy to me.

-Price, though he is talented.

-Barbra Streisand

-Dave Matthews Band

- Phil Collins

- Sting

- Paula Abdul (as a performer)

- Michael Jackson

- Prince

- Bruce Springsteen

- Peter Gabriel

- The Cure

- Kiss (But I loved their movie.)

- Celine Dion (I'm one of the very few who thinks Barbra is much better.)

- Willie Nelson (Nothing against him or his songs, I just don't care for his voice.)

- Paul McCartney (Though as a whole the Beatles are fine.)

- The Beach Boys (Liked them when I was little. Kokomo changed that, and now I don't care for their sound now.)

- Jennifer Lopez

That ought to do it. I've probably ticked off every other Ledgie by now.
